Question

public JsonResult GetScore(int StudentID = 0)
{
    //fetch the score for the user
    //--Call sendReport
    //return the score to the calling method
}

public void SendReport(int StudentID = 0)
{
    //Logic to get the detaied marks and prepare the report's PDF
    //Mail the generated PDF back to student
}

In my web application, while Student clicks for score student will get his/her score on screen and will get detailed report’s PDF mailed to his/her registered mail.

Now problem is I would like to run SendReport in background, so student will come to know his/her score immediately without waiting.

I’ve gone through this question but it gives me error of invalid argument.

Answer 1

you could just call it in a new thread

new Thread(SendReport(StudentID)).Start();
